"Your grace is truly astute! Li, please don't worry—though you are not of the Thirteen Clans, we both hold certain standing within the clan, so sending you into the Guanghan Realm is quite feasible. This is a great favor, and I believe it serves as adequate compensation for your assistance, wouldn't you agree?" The beautiful woman of the Jing Clan glanced slightly surprised, smiled, and did not dispute. Han Li's expression grew noticeably different. After a moment, he exhaled deeply and said, "My cultivation has not yet reached a critical juncture, and even if I enter the Guanghan Realm, I won't gain much benefit. Moreover, I myself can enter the Guanghan Realm without requiring either of you to exert any effort." "You can enter the Guanghan Realm? That seems unlikely! Though you've concealed your true appearance and now present a transformed one, it's certain that you are not of one of our Thirteen Clans. How could any outsider from outside the Thirteen Clans qualify to enter the Guanghan Realm?" Segment Tianren raised his head, his face now displaying genuine astonishment. "Segment brother, please don't come to a hasty conclusion yet." As for outsiders, there has indeed been one recently who has secured the qualification to enter the Cold Palace Realm. So, I should properly call you "Mr. Han," then. The crystal-people woman was somewhat surprised, yet soon broke into a graceful smile. Hearing their words, Han Li silently sighed within himself. It was indeed true that the secret art of transforming one's appearance could not escape the notice of these two. Fortunately, from the tone of their voices, it seemed they could not see his true form. Otherwise, the impact of his candid revelation would have been significantly diminished. "Han? That name rings a bell. Indeed, I've heard of such a matter from within our clan. There was an outsider who, some years ago, activated a Cold Palace Seal, and reportedly intended to utilize our jointly maintained grand magical array." Segment Tianran paused briefly and then recalled something. "Exactly. It must be the very one before us." The crystal-people woman noticed Han Li's quiet demeanor and smiled gently. "Heh, so it seems he was already destined to enter the Cold Palace Realm all along." "That would be perfect—then we won't have to go through all this trouble ourselves." Duan Tianren smiled with genuine delight. "But until now, I still have no knowledge of the matters the two elders have been planning. Moreover, I have another matter to attend to from a noble family. Once I enter the Guanghan Realm, I may find myself too busy to manage both." Han Li glanced at Duan Tianren, hesitating. "Ah, you mean the matter of gathering materials for crafting artifacts, correct? Rest assured, that task won't take long and won't interfere with your schedule. If necessary, you may naturally prioritize Duan's matter. Even if the materials aren't collected, with Duan here advocating on my behalf within the family, how could they possibly treat me unfairly?" Duan Tianren spoke with quiet confidence. "As for what I'd like you to do—since you're certain to enter the Guanghan Realm, it would be reasonable to share some details. Brother Duan, I'll first inform Han Xiao-you of the matter." The elegant female member of the Crystal Clan interjected. "If the仙子 agrees, then I'll share what I have." "Datang has no objections," said Duan Tianren indifferently. "In fact, the matter is quite simple! We merely need Friend Han and two other individuals possessing the Yuanmagnetic body to jointly activate a hidden seal within Guanghan Realm and retrieve a few items from inside. These items are directly related to the success or failure of my and Duan's future celestial calamities. Should we succeed, we shall be safe from any further downfall for tens of thousands of years." The elegant woman spoke gravely and slowly. "A great celestial calamity!" Han Li was momentarily startled upon hearing this, and immediately recalled the situation of Qingyuan Zi, who had been concealed in the realm of Yinhe, unable to make his presence known on the main plane. This master of profound cultivation, whose life span was no longer a concern, had to retreat into another realm to delay the inevitable threat of the great celestial calamity. At their level of cultivation, while they were no longer threatened by the limits of lifespan, each great celestial calamity remained an inescapable obstacle and haunting nightmare, forcing them to tirelessly seek strategies for delay and evasion. It seems that even if one cannot attain the true immortal body, one still cannot roam freely throughout the heavens and earth. Han Li sighed slightly, breathing deeply. The crystal族 beauty continued, "That seal was discovered by me when I ascended to the rank of a Saint Clan in the Cold Palace Realm. Though I was unable to unlock it at the time, I fortunately learned about certain aspects of its inner workings from other sources. Several items within are mere afterthoughts for your upper clans, yet they are life-saving essentials for our Saint Clan during the trials of the celestial journey." "Since it is a seal from the Cold Palace Realm, wouldn't it then be the legacy of the immortals themselves? Many clans that once entered the Cold Palace Realm have perished within its various seals. Do you truly have confidence in this, Elder?" Han Li asked cautiously. "Perhaps my cultivation level is slightly weaker compared to other Saint Clans, but in terms of mastery over seals and array techniques, I rank among the top five across the entire Tianyun Realm. Moreover, I examined the seal carefully. It has existed for countless tens of thousands of years, and its power has long since diminished significantly." Otherwise, I wouldn't have even considered it. Does my lady doubt my words?" The beautiful woman gazed at Han Li, speaking with deep intention. "I would never dare think such a thing." Han Li's expression changed instantly. "Even if I did, that would be quite natural. Wouldn't I be afraid that my lady would be displeased? Though I am a woman of the lower ranks, my heart and outlook are not so narrow. Nevertheless, rest assured. After spending over a thousand years, I have finally devised a method using three individuals with Yuan-Magnetic bodies to overcome the seal—my confidence in this approach is at least seven or eight out of ten. As for the other two Yuan-Magnetic bodies, they remain in Yun City. One is a wandering cultivator with a Primordial Body, currently serving as a guest advisor to our Jin Clan. The other, whose Yuan-Magnetic body was originally formed, was transformed by my senior, Duan, through post-natal cultivation efforts. Now, with the addition of Han Li's presence, these three together will surely succeed in breaking through that seal." The Jin Clan woman spoke with confidence. "Why not cultivate another post-natal Yuan-Magnetic body now, instead of waiting until today, After a slight frown, Han Li suddenly asked. "Master Han may not be aware of this. The yuanmagnetic stone is itself an extremely rare substance and cannot be easily absorbed by the body. When Brother Duan gathered sufficient materials, he strengthened the yuanmagnetic body of six members of his clan. Yet only one of them succeeded. Subsequently, when attempting to cultivate others, he found it impossible to collect any more yuanmagnetic stones. In short, all he wishes is for Master Han to enter the Guanghan Realm to assist the other two in breaking a certain seal—nothing particularly perilous on Master Han's part," the woman with the surname Cai explained, then her expression grew serious. "I fear I have little room to refuse," Han Li mused for a while before offering a wry smile. "Heh, you think so?" Brother Duan then finished off the last sip from the wine pitcher, glanced sideways at Han Li, and said with a colder tone, "If everything truly were as the elder has described—simple and straightforward—then I would certainly be happy to assist." Yet the Qinghuan realm itself is fraught with dangers, not to mention the seal—possibly left by immortals—whose uncertainties are simply too great. "Could your senior truly guarantee that I won't face any peril to my life?" Han Li took a deep breath and asked in return. "You're jesting, aren't you? What in the world is ten out of ten in this world? Even if I say so, would you truly believe me?" The beautiful woman responded with a half-smiling, slightly amused expression. "Since your senior cannot firmly assure me of the peril of this journey, and thus cannot make me willingly embrace the risk, I would like to request two conditions from both of you." After a brief pause, Han Li spoke slowly and deliberately. "Conditions! Even if you don't mention them, once this matter is settled, I and my brother will surely offer you our heartfelt thanks." Upon hearing Han Li's words, the woman lightened up and smiled gently. To her, as long as Han Li was willing to propose conditions, everything would surely fall into place. "My conditions are quite simple. First, upon leaving the Guanghan Realm, I need to utilize the teleportation array—both of you are well aware of this. However, the amount of high-quality spiritual stones required for the teleportation is substantial, and I fear my personal strength may not be sufficient to bear such a cost." Han Li spoke calmly, yet each word was delivered with deliberate clarity. "The cost of activating a super-teleportation array, requiring premium spiritual stones, indeed amounts to a considerable sum. How about this: I will cover half of the spiritual stones needed for my teleportation. Would that be acceptable to you, my esteemed companion?" The graceful woman responded without hesitation. It seemed as though the considerable sum of stones had not even registered in her mind. Upon seeing her agree so readily, Han Li was momentarily struck silent. Yet, with a slight smile, he continued: "I am truly grateful for your generous offer. My second condition is this: after the seals are broken, all treasures discovered beyond those specifically designated by the two of you shall remain mine." "That is perfectly acceptable." "We only need those few items. Any treasures you discovered that are not included shall be entirely yours." The graceful woman showed no surprise, readily agreeing as if this condition had been anticipated. She had not even consulted with Duan Tianren at all. Upon hearing this, Duan Tianren merely glanced at her and expressed no objection either. "I am not a greedy person. Since both of these conditions have been accepted by the elders, I have no further objections. I am willing to enter the Guanghan Realm and lend my support to both of you." Han Li stood up and bowed respectfully to both the woman and Duan Tianren. "Excellent! With the assistance of Friend Han, I believe this matter will surely succeed. The specific arrangements will be carefully explained to you by me and Duan brother before the Guanghan Realm is officially activated. Also, I hope you will keep what I have just mentioned confidential." The woman smiled warmly while speaking. "Please rest assured, Elder. I fully understand the importance of what has been said." "If there's nothing else, I shall step down now." Han Li bowed slightly and replied with due respect. "Very well, you may leave. In the meantime, should you encounter any matters, please feel free to inform me or Brother Duan—surely I can assist you with various concerns. By the way, Master Han, have you not yet heard my full name? I am Cai Liu Ying, and you may address me directly as Fei Ti Lady." The beautiful woman smiled warmly.
